SKY SAILOR 25 July | August 2020 canopy turns flatter – perfect for training slope and first mountain flights. Student pilots can concen- trate fully on the unknown medium of air. In ‘Sport Mode’ the handling becomes more lively and agile. The brakes accentuate the outer wing: the glider banks higher, the control pressure in the effective range is lower and you can optimise your bank angle in every position while turning – experienced pilots fly high wingovers with ease. The conversion between the two modes can easily be carried out by the pilot. With skywalk’s new Mescal6 flight students, beginners and leisure pilots get a glider that is com- pletely stress-free from pre-launch preparations to after-landing packing. Like its predecessors, the Mescal6 is based on a compact wing shape with an aspect ratio of 4.8 and 38 cells. The clearly arranged line set-up and the colour- coded risers facilitate pre-launch preparations and easy inflation in all wind conditions. Furthermore, the ‘ERGO- Handles’ allow the pilot to adjust them to their personal favourite position. The materials used are very robust and forgiving. All five sizes are certified in the LTF/EN-A cat- egory – both in ‘comfort’ or ‘sport’ mode. skywalk paragliders skywalk’Mescal6 Covid-19 Stay informed via Airwaves, the SAFA website and your State’s and Federal government announcements regarding changes in travel and crowd restrictions and lockdown rules.
